NyTimes: 36 Hours: In Minneapolis

Today's New York Times has an article about a weekend visit to Minneapolis. I don't know if it just me or if it is common, but the article sounds less fantastic, but more normal of a visit.

The article does a nice job of highlighting the classics of Minneapolis (Sebatian Joe's, Al's Breakfast, Lake Calhoun, etc). Maybe that is why it isn't special to me, just normal. Hopefully those New Yorkers like and will try a summer visit to Minneapolis AND Saint Paul. I don't hold much hope for most of them to want to try a Minnesota winter quite yet, it is better for them to try a June day first.

Check it out:
The New York Times > Travel > Escapes > 36 Hours: In Minneapolis: "Even today, the words 'Minnesota winter' send, well, shivers, as well they might, with the average temperature last month at around 13 degrees. But in Minneapolis it has all become bearable with the advent of polyester fibers, seven miles of glass-enclosed interlocking skyways that connect downtown buildings and an art and theater scene that doesn't stop percolating just because the ice is two feet thick on the Lake of the Isles, where the former Vice President Walter Mondale can be seen daily walking his dog, come rain or blizzard. The favorite pastime in the Minneapolis winter is to quit your whining and go outside and play. "
